In reply to Mark. Mark: The money is not being transferred into "black programs." The covert defense space budget is a separate very large line item in the federal budget, usually larger than NASA's, and very distinct. No, the truth is is that is is possible to spend all that money on a rocket. Our modern federal government is very good at wasting money. In fact, it's its job.

Are the cost overruns of SLS:
due to incompetence and greed on behalf of the contractors
-or-
due to a significant percentage of the funds being redirected into so-called “black programs”?

It’s pure speculation, I know, but at some point you have to ask yourself “Is it even POSSIBLE to spend all that money building that rocket?”

It sounds like they know that SLS will never be launched and to take their time until it finally collapses to keep the gravy coming.

SLS , a swamp crying out to be drained, and yet, they keep adding concrete layers to this swamp.
